In a checked $ 17\times 17$ table, $ n$ squares are colored in black. We call a line any of rows, columns, or any of two diagonals of the table. In one step, if at least $ 6$ of the squares in some line are black, then one can paint all the squares of this line in black.
Find the minimal value of $ n$ such that for some initial arrangement of $ n$ black squares one can paint all squares of the table in black in some steps.

A bookshelf contains $n$ volumes, labelled $1$ to $n$, in some order. The librarian wishes to put them in the correct order as follows. The librarian selects a volume that is too far to the right, say the volume with label $k$, takes it out, and inserts it in the $k$-th position. For example, if the bookshelf contains the volumes $1,3,2,4$ in that order, the librarian could take out volume $2$ and place it in the second position. The books will then be in the correct order $1,2,3,4$.
(a) Show that if this process is repeated, then, however the librarian makes the selections, all the volumes will eventually be in the correct order.
(b) What is the largest number of steps that this process can take?

All edges of a polyhedron are painted with red or yellow. For an angle of a facet, if the edges determining it are of different colors, then the angle is called [i]excentric[/i]. The[i] excentricity [/i]of a vertex $A$, namely $S_A$, is defined as the number of excentric angles it has. Prove that there exist two vertices $B$ and $C$ such that $S_B + S_C \leq 4$.

2022 Bulgarian Spring Math Competition, Problem 8.3
Given the inequalities:
$a)$ $\left(\frac{2a}{b+c}\right)^2+\left(\frac{2b}{a+c}\right)^2+\left(\frac{2c}{a+b}\right)^2\geq \frac{a}{c}+\frac{b}{a}+\frac{c}{b}$
$b)$ $\left(\frac{a+b}{c}\right)^2+\left(\frac{b+c}{a}\right)^2+\left(\frac{c+a}{b}\right)^2\geq \frac{a}{b}+\frac{b}{c}+\frac{c}{a}+9$
For each of them either prove that it holds for all positive real numbers $a$, $b$, $c$ or present a counterexample $(a,b,c)$ which doesn't satisfy the inequality.
